ANGELS—It seems appropriate that during the holidays we discuss angels. They are essentially spiritual and superhuman beings who are messengers of God and visitors from another world. One angel brought the message of the entire
Koran to Mohammed and the Moslems. An Angel of the Lord spoke with Abraham in
the Torah, when he was 99 years old and childless, telling the Jewish leader
he would be the father of a multitude of nations. According to Genesis he
was. The Eastern religions speak of Devas who are organized in a military
hierarchy and operate in a similar manner to angels. In the Christian Bible
it states:

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth and a town in
Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant
of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said,
"Greetings you are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Mary was greatly
troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But
the angle said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.
You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the
name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.
The Lord God will give him the throne of his Father David, and he will reign
over the house of Jacob forever, his kingdom will never end. "How can this
be" Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?’ The angel answered, The Holy
Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will over shadow
you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God! Luke 1-verses
26 to 35. Two thousand years later, much of world celebrates this birth at
Christmas.

Much of our history revolves around visitors from a planet called Heaven. In
Vedic writings the topmost authority in the material universe is known as
Brahma, and he lives in the highest material planetary system, called
Brahmaloka. These extraterrestrial angelic visitors are real according to
most of the great historic religious writings of mankind. It seems reasonable
that these are not simply myths, but are based on actual visits by angels,
visitors, watchers, ET, devas or what ever you choose to call them. They are
often given credit for bringing writing to Earth. Thousands of books have
been written describing their interactions with Earth. If you visit the great
temples and churches around the world, almost all have the story of a strange
being who oversaw their construction. Often there are similar stories of
strange objects in the sky. Several friends claim to they were healed by
angels. To understand the events of the last few weeks is to realize all that
happens in the world may not be simply by chance. So remember when you enjoy
Christmas it all started with an angel. For he will command his angels
concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Merry Christmas

NORTH POLE--UFO with red nose seen heading south early on December 25.

PENNSYLVANIA

LAKE ERIE--On December 14, 1998, a woman witness was outdoors in Avonia, a small town ten miles west of Erie, and about one mile south of Lake Erie, when she saw a UFO at 6:30 PM. She was "unloading some items from her car when she was startled to see a bright white light with a tail that appeared to pass
directly over her head. The object was moving from north to south without
making a sound. "The object continued to move to a distance of about 30 feet
and stopped directly above the roof of my house. The object then appeared as
a solid, real white light, and it was motionless. It then began a pattern of
blinking off, then blinking on--at about one-second intervals. I became
frightened at that point and ran inside, and that was the last I observed."

FLORIDA

BRADENTON--Nancy Dunning reports, "I have a friend that reported to me that he saw a UFO on December 15, early Tuesday morning when he got up for work. He has to be at work between 5:00 and 6:00 AM. He told me that he was looking up at the stars and he saw what he thought to be a satellite. He watched it and it got almost even with a star. Then it just changed direction and shot out of sight. He said that it looked like it made a check mark in the sky. I still need to get more information from him about the sighting. When I find out more I will let you know. By the way, he actually lives just on the north side of the Hillsbourogh County line. Thanks to Nancy Dunning.

TEXAS

WACO—When the skies cleared around 12:30 AM a brilliant bright object could be seen hovering above this central Texas town on Saturday, December 19, 1998. The witness was located at Baylor University looking toward the east, when she noticed the bright light in the sky. The object appeared to hover east of Waco for almost an hour and then flew off at high speed in a zig zagging maneuver. The female witness was unable to see any structure within the bright lights. She stated, "They changed color from red to green, blue,
yellow almost white then pink to red. A virtual rainbow of colors. She felt
students at the university must also have observed the display." She thought
the sun was reflecting off a highly polished surface. Waco is 100 miles south
of Dallas.

Editor's Note: Rainbows of cascading colors are not necessary for
propulsion or any other facet of spacecraft operation. UFOs of many colors
become high-strangeness event to witnesses on the ground looking up, and may
be designed to get the attention. Colors dazzle our mind and I deduce they
are put there by design."

ARIZONA

On Sunday, December 13, 1998, Patricia Mundorf, a Roman Catholic prophet who
lives in Phoenix, Arizona, claimed that she had just been visited by an
apparition of the Virgin Mary. The apparition warned Mundorf that an air
attack against Baghdad was imminent. According to Ms. Mundorf, Mary said,
"The United States will attack Iraq. My children, I have warned you of this
conflict. The Red countries will not back you on this. NOW YOU WILL FACE THE
GREATEST POSSIBILITY OF NUCLEAR AND BACTERIAL WAR ON YOUR LAND!" Strangely
enough, Ms. Mundorf experienced her vision 3 hours before President Clinton
ordered the attack. According to columnist Robert Novak, the president
decided to launch the bombing Sunday while flying home from the Middle East.

IRAQ

BAGDAD--Large triangular UFOs were seen over in Iraq during Operation Desert Fox bombing on Thursday, December 16, 1998, around 2:30 AM. John Thompson and others were observing CNN's video of the war at 6:3O AM Eastern time, December 15. A large triangle-shaped pattern of lights was visible that appeared similar to the lights of Phoenix." The lights hovered above the city and Iraqi anti-aircraft tracer fire could be seen flowing from the ground up
towards the almost stationary lights in the sky. The scene appeared on CNN's
live broadcast, which aired in the USA. Joe Trainor UFO Roundup also reported
a similar sighting by Ufologist Ignatius Graffeo. "I did see a triangular
formation of lights moving very slowly at about" 12:55 a.m. Baghdad time that
Thursday "on an NBC news report of the bombing...The light was steady, and it
was definite and very striking." He described it as "a V-shaped formation
like the one at Phoenix," Arizona on March 13, 1997. The UFO "was against a
black night sky and very different from the 'greenish' tracer fire moving
across the sky, which did not hold their position for any length of time."
Editors Note: This brings up the possibility that these V shaped formations
are created by US military as a diversionary tactic. According to the Boston
Herald, Fort Drum, the US Army post in upstate New York, was a staging area
for the four-day Operation Desert Fox. The Herald reported, "Along with the
additional air assets, the Army is sending a battalion of light infantry
troops from Fort Drum, NY and nuclear-biological-chemical experts from several
bases to watch for any attack by Iraq against Kuwait and other neighbors in
the region." (See the Boston, MA. Herald for 12/17/98, "U.S. to pump up
military muscle," page 22.) Thanks to UFO Roundup, Vol. 3 #51 12/22/98 editor

INNER-TERRESTRIALS

My name is Walter T. Rogers. I met you at the Show-Me UFO Convention in Saint
Louis last October 17th. I enjoy your Files very much. But #48 was the best
because you gave us a look into the little understood, under reported
phenomenon of the inner-terrestrial. I would like to hear more about the
woman who called to report the attack of a modern incubus. Can you tell me if
this was a one time attack, or do they continue to happen. I would love to
hear move reports of this kind in Filer’s Files. I met an old neighbor of
mine who told me about a woman she knew who claimed to be attacked by an
invisible incubus type entity that climbs into bed with her. This woman
thought it might be her dead husband, since these things started to happen
after he had died. This woman claimed the entity left scratches on her back,
which she was being treated for at the Southside Clinic. I would like to have
more of these reports. As you well know UFO abductee’s often have a version
the old incubus phenomenon. The entities known as reptilians are said to rape
both male and female abductees. Keep up the good work. I would like to hear
more reports of this sort. UFOROGER@IX.NETCOM uforoger@ix.netcom.com.

Editor's Note: I get a steady stream of these type reports mostly from Georgia
and New Jersey. They are similar to abductions, but difficult to prove.
Frequently the victims have scratches, bruises, and damage to sexual organs,
etc. The church has believed in these accounts for hundreds of years.
Perhaps we are watching the modern version of the same attacks. Perhaps these
are the fallen angels also described in historical documents. Sometimes truth
is stranger than fiction.

OHIO & INDIANA

More spectacular UFO photos are on the Alien Abduction Experience and Research
web site. These photos are spectacular and the photo enhancements clearly
show some very unusual aerial objects. As Lynn Taylor noted, "They're back!"

ROSWELL DEBRIS PHOTOS CONTROVERSY:

BICYCLE BOB writes the following is some of the best information available
from Linda Moulton Howe and other sources on the three known crash sites.

Landing Zone 1 is on a ranch near Corona, New Mexico. Debris field and
"bodies dissected as one would a frog." No clarification whether bodies were
human or non-human.

Landing Zone 2 -- 10 miles northwest of Oscura Peak in the direction of
Socorro. A damaged vehicle was found there with five, small, children-sized
bodies. There is reference that inside the craft animal parts were found, but
nothing further is detailed in any of the documents. The four lab technicians
who handled the five bodies became ill and bled profusely a few hours
afterward and all died.

Landing Zone 3 -- 30 miles east of what is now called Holloman AFB toward the
Sacramento Mts. and the Mescalero Indian Reservation. Another vehicle was
found and retrieved on July 5, 1947. Landing Zones 1 and 2 were handled
militarily between July 5 and 7, according to the documents. Thanks to Bob
Soetebier (BICYCLE BOB) bikebob@mo.net & Linda Howe.

Editor's Note: Several friends have told me, there was a crash of several
unidentified objects in New Mexico in 1947. Admittedly, there is little
reliable evidence that these crashes actually took place. The photographic
evidence taken in General Ramey's office by Bond Johnson on July 8, 1947, is
accepted by both the government and Ufologists. Now a half dozen people,
several from different countries, claim to see strange symbols and writing on
the debris. It also appears part of a message held in Ramey’s hand can now be
read. I feel it is logical to discuss and examine the photographs with the
latest investigation techniques now available. The first few times I looked
at the photographs I did not see anything unusual. Many honest and honorable
people do not see anything, but the debris of a balloon and a RAWIN target
reflector. The Radar target reflector looks like a box kite with aluminum
paper covering. Recently, two computer experts who publish medical books, and
are not particularly interested in UFOs spent an evening with me trying to
help. We believe we saw the words "Victims of crash," Magdalena, Fort Worth,
weather balloon, Temple, and a few others. They were not clear, but we
thought we saw it. We also saw writing on the sticks that seemed to be
carpenter's measurements and a few unknown symbols. Kind of like an elongated
G, a cross and a few symbols that do not seem logical to be printed on the
beams or sticks of a RAWIN Radar reflector. Our analysis may be no more than
wishful thinking. We freely admit that we may be looking at something and
simply putting our own interpretation on it. I do not know if any of this
evidence will hold up. Nothing in our research proves an alien spaceship
crashed. However, it does seem to infer there was much more than a Mogul
balloon and a RAWIN target reflector that crashed at Roswell.

Niel Morris writes from Manchester, England: "Thanks again for your continued
coverage of our findings. I'd like to clarify one or two points brought up in
Filer Files #50 and also some of the statements made by Bob Durant. I might
also add that Bob was one of the first "researchers" to contact me directly
and oddly requested I send him what boiled down to my CV, this I gladly did
outlining my job at the University. It struck me at the time he seem more
interested in who I was than with the results of the photo analysis, though he
was kind enough to forward copies of some of the articles he has had
published. These were most useful in highlighting just why some of the debris
seen in the images could NOT be balloon debris, again I have that to thank him
for. To turn to Bobs comments: BOB DURANT writes that: "Once again you have
misled your readers by printing J. Bond Johnson's fantasies concerning the
Roswell photos. Bob, these are not fantasies, I have by intention, made my
results available freely on the Internet so that ANYONE who wishes can
reproduce these results. I have so far not received one response from any
party to say they have tried to reproduce my results using comparable data and
software and failed. I can only suggest you contact the University of Texas
Archives obtain the 11x14's, scan them at 2400 dpi and using a "simple"
graphics package, a "freebie" copy of Paintshop Pro will do, look for
yourself. YOU DO NOT NEED SOPHISTICATED SOFTWARE TO FIND THESE FEATURES.

Filer claims -- and published -- that the University of Manchester, England
and its physics department are studying the Roswell photos, and that a
professor of physics named Neil Morris is working on the project. The
University is doing nothing on the photos, nor is their physics department.
Neil Morris is neither a physicist nor a professor. OK, so we all get
crossed wires don't we. Morris is a technician attached to the physics
department at Manchester. When they need a light bulb changed, they call.
Morris responds: And if Bob want's to be pedantic so can I. Nope I don't
change light bulbs, our estates and services dept. does that. As an example
of the work I am engaged in, we currently have on the bench nearing completion
a set of in house designed computer controlled power supplies to drive
spectrometer electron optics, these, destined for a spectrometer in Poland, a
similar set of our electronics has just returned from a successful "run" at
your own Advanced Light Source in Berkeley, CA, and another similar set now at
the University of Michigan will be off there in the New Year. By the way
some of the software that goes with the Michigan equipment, I devised and
wrote. Correct I don't have a Ph.D., but that hasn't stopped either my late
father or myself from obtaining a number of world and European patents on
electronic devices we designed. Needless to say they (the patents) cost a
fortune rather than make one. Morris works on the Roswell photos on his
spare time, as a hobby, using a very ordinary personal computer and very
ordinary off-the-shelf photo manipulation software. All true AND it drives
my wife to distraction at times! The PC I put together from parts, Pentium
266, 64meg of ram, Matrox 4 meg graphics card, 15" monitor, currently aprox.
4gig of disk storage. Nothing special by today’s standards so you people out
there should be able to get the same results with similar hardware. See his
web site, and check all this out. I hasten to add that Morris is perfectly
honest about who he is and what he is doing. You might do a favor for your
readers if you would ask your friend J. Bond Johnson to share with us some
details about his years as a psychological warfare specialist working for the
National Security Council. Johnson has a doctorate in psychology, and
retired from the Army reserves as a full colonel." Thanks to Bob Durant.
Bob might like to know that Bond has been quite open about his background with
the members of the RPIT group, as we all have, but for a little balance Bob
might have also mentioned that Bond has been an ordained Methodist Minister
for the last 30+ years too, and still takes services at his local church.
Filer’s Editor Note: I stand corrected that Neil Morris is apparently not a
physicist, although he does work for the Physics Department of the University
of Manchester as a technician specializing in photography. Well not
actually, it's electronics and computing, though photography has been a long
standing hobby, I was taking pictures when I was 9-10yrs old, by the time I
was around 12, I was printing and processing them myself, my father was a keen
amateur photographer and the bathroom doubled as a darkroom, we used to make
the bathroom "hardware" go the strangest colours. Later I also became
interested in cine photography and home processed both B+W and colour movie
films. I'm still a keen amateur photographer though I don't get shouted at
now for discolouring the bathroom, I let the local processing lab take the
strain. He apparently maintains -- and uses -- the highly technical
equipment for the Dept. of Physics and Astronomy. "Builds" should also go
between maintains and uses. Neil Morris and the RPIT team are uncovering
evidence and writing within the Ramey photographs that may be significant.

Dr. Richard Haines writes: "Thanks for forwarding this material on a very
controversial subject indeed. Having worked in the area of human visual
perception optics, lighting, and image compression for a long time I have been
continually amazed (e.g., Face on Mars) how creative our brains can be at
seeing pattern and meaning in otherwise random fields. This is a
scientifically established fact that extends far beyond the well-known
projective tests (ink blots) used in psychiatry. I would caution you and
others to proceed very slowly and seek the signal and leave the noise behind.
In pattern analysis the signal can be camouflaged almost out of sight. 'nuf
